The excitement's building up now in the Joe (sorry, I just had to pretend for a moment).

But seriously, the drought's nearly over, and it's getting really exciting. But I thought all day that the game was starting at 8pm ET because of your schedule Clark. I was sure I saw that start time somewhere else as well though. Oh well, at least I didn't check it when it was too late.

Leafs looked like they were playing with urgency, Wings just look slow all night and made many mistakes. That being said, wings made it close, Toronto played their A game which to me looks impossible to keep up for 82 games. Its only game 1, big celebration after they won. Don't know what to make of it. Anyways, chemistry isn't there yet even though 90% of the players from last year are together ahaha.

I was way at the other end in what would have been a perfect spot if not for the two 6'8" guys in front of me. I'm 6'1", I'm not used to not being able to see, and of course that would happen on that night.

My quick thoughts since I'm still swamped at work and don't have time to make a proper post... The Wings played like crap through the first half of the game. Their passes were way off the mark and they were afraid to hit.

On a programming note... Apologies for the wrong time on the schedule, the game was moved up and I didn't update the site. Also, I'll be getting my photos (if any turned out) loaded onto the site later tonight.

At least your pictures turned out nice! + The Dr. Fil and Datsyuk picture and the other with the team and the banner turned out the best, methinks.

I would offer some wisdom out of the stuff I learned from watching the CBC, but I wasn't really paying attention to the commentary yesterday (didn't seem as good as the usually commentary, either). I was happy for Homer though, it was lucky to get both goals!
